Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Workmen’s Compensation Law, 85 O.S.1951 § 1 et seq., does not undertake to apportion the degree or extent by which claimant’s illness is augmented or hastened by the injury superimposed upon it. Rather, where it is shown that a latent or dormant disease, unknown to the workman, is aggravated, accelerated or brought to life by an accidental injury, the entire disability arising from the cumulative effect of injury and illness, interacting upon each other and operating together, furnishes the proper basis for compensation.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It is not necessary for the trial judge to separately trace and evaluate each cause which contributed to produce the ultimate disability. Nor need the disability be attributable to any appreciable part of the injury, standing alone. It is the aggravation of the disease by the injury which renders the entire disability resulting therefrom compensable. * * ””
